Hi, Rusty....unfortunately I didn't get quite high
enough on downwind to see across the bay. Yep....I also have two fuel
pumps, individually fused. I checked them individually prior to takeoff, then
took off with both of them on. Once established downwind, I turned off one of
them. I like to use the left pump on odd days and the right pump on even days,
just so they both get similar useage. Unfortunately, somewhere between
takeoff and downwind, one fuse blew. In the future, I think I will shut off one
pump after reaching cruising altitude or 3000 feet minimum. Oh well,
lesson learned. Fortunately, I am capable of learning something from my
mistakes. (Obviously in my life I have learned a LOT, due to the high number of
mistakes I have made). Sooner or later, I think I will have made all the
mistakes possible, and will have nothing further to learn....but by then I'll
probably be too old to fly. Take care. Deadstick Conner

Climbed like a rocketship and temps
never went above 165 until the engine quit.
So I'm guessing you didn't have time to look for me
across the bay :-)
Glad to hear you made a safe landing. I'll
personally have two EFI pumps, and keep them both running all the time.
They're fused separately, and checked during run-up. That's where I
want to find any problem there might
be.
Now knock off that dead stick crap
:-)
